St. John Ambulance Cork was delighted to welcome teams from Dublin to our headquarters for the Annual Cork Senior Competitions, on May 7th last. The Dublin contingent was joined by a large group of travelling supporters, to cheer on their team on the floor. Our Commissioner, Prof. Patrick Plunkett, also travelled down to view our competitions. Originally, the competition had been organised in an outside venue, but due to poor weather, had to be held indoors at our headquarters on Victoria Road.

Competitions are going through a revival, and the scenarios our Competitions Officer, Sean O’Reilly, formulates, reflect that. Competitions have changed from four-person teams to three-person teams, to reflect what our members encounter on duty. Read More...
